### 2022

In the Korea Open, Weng was promoted from the reserves list to enter the main draw. He defeated home favorite Heo Kwang-hee in the first round, and defeated Malaysians Cheam June Wei and Ng Tze Yong to reach the semi-finals. There, he defeated Denmark's Victor Svendsen to reach his career's maiden World Tour Super 500 final. In the final, he defeated Indonesia's Jonatan Christie to win his career's biggest title, despite being one game down and trailing 16–19 in the second. It was his career's biggest win.[4]

In the Asian Championships, Weng qualified for the main draw. He defeated former World No.1 Srikanth Kidambi and Olympic bronze medalist Anthony Sinisuka Ginting to enter the semi-finals. However, he was defeated by eventual champion Lee Zii Jia in straight games. Despite this, he still won a bronze medal, which was his first medal from a major tournament.[5]
